    Freshman - 36.7% on 150 attempts
    Sophomore - 33.5% on 170 attempts
    Junior - 38.4% on 138 attempts

    Those are his three point shooting numbers. Yes, please.

    Doesn’t make much sense from a class balance perspective with Craig and Tyson both in the junior class next year.

        I kind of get SHJ vibes from this one. He can score and sometimes it looks nice, but maybe not the point guard we need. His A/TO numbers at the D-II level worry me. Can't imagine we're vetting him as a shooting guard.

          I believe shooting is a skill that translates to any level.

            Fatigue can adversely effect shooting. Playing D1 defense is more tiring. Hard to say
            how that variable will impact this or any other Juco or DII kid. I give DD somewhat of a pass
            on his shooting % because of the energy he uses on defense.

              It should be abundantly clear in the transfer portal era that class balance means next to nothing. It's just shadows and fog. Get some dang dudes in here and let's kick some ass.
              “The rebellion on the populist right against the results of the 2020 election was partly a cynical, knowing effort by political operators and their hype men in the media to steal an election or at least get rich trying. But it was also the tragic consequence of the informational malnourishment so badly afflicting the nation. ... Americans gorge themselves daily on empty informational calories, indulging their sugar fixes of self-affirming half-truths and even outright lies.'

                Agreed. We need DUDES.

                  Not exactly. It's harder to get a shot off at our level than a D2. The other demands for energy on both sides of the ball are going to be greater which can impact shooting percentages. And as has been pointed out, his A/TO ratio isn't impressive at all and you really can't expect it to get better by moving way up in competition level.

                    If you can shoot you can shoot. All that other stuff is just noise.

                    Over the course of time Erik Stevenson is going to shoot 30% no matter what level he’s at.

                      A/TO ratio has zero to do with shooting which is what I’m talking about with this guy.

                      But, since it was brought up, it’s easier to teach a guy to be more conservative with his passes than it is to teach a guy to shoot better.

                        Morris Udeze's free throw percentage disagrees.

                          Do you think it was easy for Mo to improve his FT shooting this year?

                            Coach Marshall use to always say 'Shooting is the great equalizer in college basketball" I agree.

                            A blast from the past. Billy Tubbs used to say that he did not recruit players that can not shoot. Its harder to improve shooting than it is to teach defense. LOL

                              It’s not like this is a small sample size. He’s shot 36% from three on 460 attempts. Obviously there is going to be an adjustment to D1. Players from HS, JUCO, D2 will all have to adjust but that doesn’t mean we should just throw their stats out the window as meaningless.

                              Whether this guy is the right fit overall or if we’re even recruiting him is almost irrelevant. I said “yes, please” to his shooting numbers because, all things being equal, I want to see us going after guys who already have a track record of making shots at a good percentage.
